REGISTER NOW!Proclaim The Greatness of The Lord
And Mary said:
“My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord; my spirit rejoices in God my saviour. For he has looked upon his handmaid’s lowliness; behold, from now on will all ages call me blessed. The Mighty One has done great things for me, and holy is his name. His mercy is from age to age to those who fear him. He has shown might with his arm, dispersed the arrogant of mind and heart. He has thrown down the rulers from their thrones but lifted up the lowly. The hungry he has filled with good things; the rich he has sent away empty. He has helped Israel his servant, remembering his mercy, according to his promise to our fathers, to Abraham and to his descendants forever.”
Luke 1:46-55
Our 2012 theme is so rich and profound, and enjoins us all to prepare our hearts to grow and to open up fully, so that in 2012, our Community and our individual families may understand, live, sing and proclaim the Canticle of Mary.
The theme brings us back home to the core of our calling: EVANGELIZATION, or proclaiming the great love of the Lord in word and in action every day. It also reveals the purpose why the Lord has allowed us to face and overcome the Community’s toughest storms — we loved and moved forward in Christ, embracing the Fullness of His mission, and we put on His full armor, so that our lives and our families can continue to proclaim the greatness of the Lord to all!
Finally, the theme affirms the fullness of the mission each of us are called to. The faithfulness, humility, and holiness of Mary as the first and perfect disciple; the lowly being lifted up and the hungry filled with good things; the promise to Abraham and his descendants encompassing the future of our own families — these are exciting affirmations of the work God calls us to fulfill: building up personal holiness in Christ, building the Church of the Home, and building the Church of the Poor!
